Hi,
A stark, intellectual view of the way the universe works:
"It is possible, without any impropriety, for chance
to cause children to suffer punishment for parental sin; there is no impropriety (עוול) involved, at all.
"If a person were to sin against the government
and they would punish him justly, such that he would lose his wealth, this would
cause punishment for his children, who would be paupers and would not inherit
anything that they had been due to receive from their father's assets."
(Commentary of Ralbag to Yehoshua 7:1)
Have a good day,
Mordechai
